Description
Calcitop Calcium bolus
Indication:
Calcium deficiency in cattle can cause sub clinical milk fever in as high as 70% of the herd due to the lack of Calcium in the blood, the cow will then have a lower feed intake and milk production. The cow will also be more sensitive to other diseases. In the case of acute “clinical milk fever” the cow goes down. Note: Oral Gels contain Calcium Chloride, known to be an irritant and prolonged use can cause ulcers and are difficult to administer, often the complete required dose is not swallowed – uncertainty as to just how much the cows actually gets.
